Daryl Robb:
has been performing for 3 86 years. In the 90's he achieved minor
success in Northern Alberta with his group, Daryl Robb & The Northern Focus
(which later became the duo Sweet Fever). The group received radio airplay
and sold many recordings of their cassette, "The Writer". Daryl later went
solo after moving to B.C. in which he organized a Folk Night for aspiring
musicians. He also wrote and performed on the Folk Night show which has been
televised by Shaw Community TV. Daryl has also acted in commercials and the
mini-series, Small Sacrifices, starring Farrah Fawcett and John Shea and has
directed and produced shows for Community TV.
Included in Daryl's background is years of public relations, promotions and media advertising sales. He has organized many music events such as Battle of the Bands, Concerts and the Merritt Lions Kids Day Children's Festival. which featured many performers and attracted over 1000 people. His inspiration for Down By The Docks came from his daughter, Shantelle, who loves music. He sang the new songs for her and she loved the new tunes which led to the show. Daryl writes 90% of the scripts and practically all the original songs. He enjoys performing with Down By The Docks for as he says, " There's nothing better in this world than a child with a smile." Daryl is 47 years old, happily married with one daughter Leroy the lobster: Leroy The Lobster: Leroy The Lobster hails from the Deep Blue Sea where talking lobsters are common. He is 3 and a half in lobster years but we've yet to decipher what that is in human years. Leroy has been a performer back home but this is first show in our world. His Father is the King in the area where he is from. Leroy became part of the show after meeting another Docks friend, Wiggle Fish, a while ago. One of the best parts of the show for Leroy is meeting the kids because they teach him about our world and he teaches them about the water world. Leroy does admit though he has a strong allergy to butter but milk is good for everyone. Leroy invites everyone to come and visit Down By The Docks whether it's a live show or on TV or Internet because he says it's SO much fun!
